Cleveland C96043 Spiral Point Tap M10x1.5

This Cleveland spiral point tap creates M10 threads with a 1.5 mm pitch. It suits mechanics and metalworkers who need reliable thread cutting in through-holes. The cobalt construction resists heat during extended use. Three flutes provide efficient chip evacuation forward.

Upgrades from standard high-speed steel taps

The cobalt material with Hard Lube coating lasts longer than uncoated high-speed steel when cutting tough alloys. The upgrade pays off when you tap stainless steel or other work-hardening materials regularly. For occasional mild steel work the extra cost may not be justified. Right-hand threads match the most common fastener direction.

Verify your drill size and hole depth first

You must drill an 8.50 mm hole to achieve the 75 percent thread engagement this tap requires. Ensure the workpiece allows at least 40 mm thread length for full engagement. The 100 mm overall length needs adequate tool-holder clearance. Confirm the 6H class of fit matches your fastener specification.
